Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for April 01, 2020

Good morning™, evergreen audience!

To those who said yesterday that the building was already finished, you were right. I thought they were still working on it.

The light dims a little each day

There’s really isn’t very much to say

So just hold on tight

Click your heels and the train just might

Wheez it’s way

To the station ahead

Before everyone who’s left on board is dead.

Topping a newly constructed building with a Pine tree is a symbol of longevity. evergreen It has Germanic roots.

Did someone order death via terminal velocity?

Good morning™, surprise gun wielders !

Well whadya know !  P-Q was right about him having his weapon. Construction foreman guy has big boo-alls. Just see how cool he is while staring down a loaded gun. That thing’s loaded, right ?

Really stupid move to pull a gun so quickly on the construction guy when you’re trying to hide out from the cops…

Not the way to blend in Shaky!

Hostage time or???

This isn’t an April Fool’s joke, I guess.

and the parade of stupidity continues, Shakey has gone from ‘blend in’ to ‘hostage taker’

Pulling a gun in the middle of a group of construction workers.

What’s next? Shaky teams up with Yosemite Sam?

Well………any bets Shaky is going to be a skydiver?

Anyone want to bet Shaky is going to be a skydiver?

Yeah, Shaky, sticking that cannon in the supervisor’s face really helps you blend in unnoticed…

The April fool is Shaky

To pull his gun so rash

Should have grabbed sweet Edison

And made a lightning dash

To hide among live evergreens

A cabin far away

Instead, he brandishes his piece

Is sure to rue the day

He turned his back on Edison

Became an April fool

Let go a lovely flower

And embraced a fate most cruel.

Today’s strip is the greatest comic strip I’ve ever read in my entire life!!!

Nice job on the flag. I’m not going to be picky, to count the stars or the stripes. It looks fine the way it is.

Oh no! I heard on the news this morning that having pink eye also means you may be coming down with the coronavirus! Poor Crystal :(

Riffin Through The Snow

1-JAY: What’s with the Christmas tree, dude?

2-DUDE: Sugar Daddy wants to add some holiday warmth to our improv.

JAY: How about we get in your car and go over the river and through the woods?

DUDE: No wait. I am a poor boy too, ba bum bum bum bummm

JAY: You’re lucky I don’t want to get blood all over these city sidewalks, pretty sidewalks, dressed in holiday style

SUGAR DADDY (from the footlights): MOVE ON THIS ISN’T WORKING. NICE POINTING NUMBER 4.

NUMBER 4: My arm’s tired…

Right, pull a gun in front of dozens of people with the police only a minute or so away.

Fellow DT fans, in the spirit of the occasion, I hereby present the following:

Enjoy! d;o)

So shaky is going to force his way to the top of the building to escape DT. So is shaky going to do a high dive when they get to the top?

Oh Tannenbaum, Oh Tannenbaum.

Shaky to police: Let me go or the Christmas tree gets it!

Well, that was a pointless interlude.

Shaky is risking a lot by pulling his gun on that citizen!

Is the odd use of an evergreen to top off the building significant?

Are the cops who are searching for Shaky nearby?

1:05 AM and no new comic :-(
